Pennyfuir Cemetery is a cemetery in Oban, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was established in the 19th century.[1]

The cemetery contains 23 graves from the First World War and 58 from the Second World War.[1][2] Four of the Second World War graves are of airmen who died in the Dunbeath air crash which killed Prince George, Duke of Kent, on 25 August 1942.[2] In the centre of the war cemetery stands the Cross of Sacrifice, constructed from white Portland stone.[2]
